They share their original label with Henry Cow's Concerts, and were early invitees to the canonical Recommended Sampler. Aldo De Scalzi, Andrea Beccari, Giorgio Karaghiosoff and Paulo Griguolo all met at infant school and began playing Teleman, Corelli, Bach and Mozart together in their school orchestra.

Camere Zimmer Rooms
Picchio dal Pozzo are considered to be one of the very few 'Canterbury' inspired bands that emerged from Italy's fertile 1970's progressive rock musical scene.

They released their first, self-titled album in 1975. The band reco…
